I ran an AKC Senior test recently with a tandem walk-up for the honor too- honor dog walked right beside (about 8 ft apart) the working dog on one of the longest walk-up I've seen, 25-30 yards before they fired off the bird. Also have run tests with walk-up on water, walk-up was a flier and even a walk-out run after the double was picked up as you walked away from the line.

Have done this in CKC WCX test. It is interesting!!!and you you can't say a word!

There shall be at least onediversion shot and at least one of the hunting situations should include a walk-up. In Senior tests, a double mark isdefined as two marks presented before the dog is sent to retrieve. Blinds shall not be run between marks in SeniorHunting Tests.

Please see the following rule changes forwarded from the AKC Performance Events Department.

1. The first is concerning Senior Hunting Tests and Walk-Ups. The wording has changed to make it clear that a diversion shot will be included in a Senior Hunt Test AS WELL AS a WALK-UP. Before it has been interpreted that a walk-up could be optional at the Senior level. As of September 1, 2013, this is no longer an option. Please be aware of this change and expect to see this change at any test you are running. Please see the specific wording change indicated below
